On Tuesday (July 4), Algeria celebrated with great pomp the sixtieth anniversary of the end of 132 years of French colonization. It may be noted that the relationship between the two countries took an acrimonious backseat when Macron mentioned in 2021 October that Algeria was built after its independence on “a memory rent”, maintained by “the political-military system.
